We are starting a unit in Language Arts that involves stories from Fairy Tales. Students will learn about different parts of the story for example: the setting, plot, and characters. In math we are continuing with subtraction and we will also review addition. In Science we will continue with habitat of animals...in Social Studies we are learning about "Communication" through body language. In P.E. we will continue playing games that require "team-work" and build individual fitness and skills. This week will also see us going to the Sagebrush for Young People's Concert (YPC). We are going skating on January 30th, I have sent out the permission notices which are due back January 12th. Please note that I did not include snowpants in the notice so if your child can bring snowpants for skating that would be great...again if any parents would like to help out, please check the box on the permission slip. I do need one parent to drive the skates & helmets and bags to the arena. There are a few skates at the school however, we will have to search for the right size for students who don't have skates. I still have a few students who do not have running shoes for P.E. please ensure that students have indoor shoes. Activities for this week: Monday, Jan. 9 - P.E. (running shoes needed!)Tuesday, Jan. 10 - P.E. Wednesday, Jan. 11 - Return library books Thursday, Jan. 12 - Library day and going to YPC Friday, Jan. 13 - Fine Arts with Ms. Gartrell
